A Package

went of to Canberra Hospital earlier this week... please take care of it Mr Postie!
It contained over 20 of the smaller Blankets of Love ...

These wee blankets were only able to be sent due to the very generous nature of my friends in BLoGLanD.
A huge hug goes out to those involved in this project.
Families in their darkest hour will find comfort in one of these precious gifts of yours.

Hugs Cheryll  xox

THANK YOU ANGELS...

Blankets Delivered

Canberra Hospital was delivered a box of blankets yesterday by my SIL. There were large ones & smaller ones & some with memory blankets attached. Some were knitted with flannel backs added but most were pieced. All the blankets were gratefully accepted & the NIC asked me to pass on her THANKS to all the wonderful ladies who donated these blankets with LoVe.

There were 20 blankets donated this time... so a huge THANK YOU goes to each of the "AnGeLs" who generously gave of their time & effort with LoVe.

Delivering Some Blankets

Canberra Hospital is just one recipient of the BLanKeTs of LoVe that are donated to me for this wonderful project. On a recent trip to Canberra I met a lovely young lady by the name of Emmalee who is now in charge of the birthing unit in this regional hospital. I was shown to the storage room where I saw all the wonderful items given to grieving families. Emmalee was very appreciative of the donations and wanted me to THANK each and everyone who has been so generous.
I was also made aware of another area that these fantastic nurses and support staff have to deal with. They need a supply of TINY blankets for the extremely premmie babies... and also for the pre 20 week fetuses. It broke my heart to see the size that is needed... I just never realised that this area of sadness had to be covered too.
I now have a whole in my heart that needs filling... so I will blog about these "tiny" sized blankets as soon as I get the chance to make one.

I will update the "Making Quilts" directions on the sidebar... asap.
